Abstracts

EN

The review article discusses the new collective work on the history of the Jews in the Bohemian Lands, which has been written by a Czech-American- German team. Its achievements are assessed within the context of recent historiography on the Jews in the Bohemian lands. The review reveals flaws in the chapters on early modern history and intentional manipulations of facts plus anti-Czech bias in the chapters on the 20th century. The reviewer argues that this interpretation imitates the way US historians are writing about Central Europe. This book aims to strengthen the xenophobic stereotypes about East-European peoples.
